I absolutely hate those trim pieces. When you are spending hundreds or thousands on tile to do a project and then finish it with these trim products it looks cheap and tacky. Plus when you are using a classic or vintage tile those shiny metal pieces or worse the cheap white plastic doesn't match. Just ruins the whole thing. I suspect builders like this kind of trim because it fast and easy to use and covers a multitude of sins. You don't have to be a particularly skilled tiler. Nor do you have to do any special cuts.

shower trays... Has anyone had one of these?

ED re the screen forming the water barrier at the front, I'm trusting the builder. I didnt ask specifically for a flat tray so I presume he's fitted a lot like it and is happy with how they work. Any issues he'd have to sort it out so it's not in his interest to choose something that doesn't work. He's done a lot of work for me already and is quick to argue with me if I suggest anything unworkable. I've noticed the drain hole is huge compared to a bath, I guess to prevent water build up underfoot. I'll update once the plumbing has been done and the screen is done but it'll be a while as I'm saving for the next phase!

How can I hide metal tile edging?

Oh how annoying! I'd be pretty hacked off with that I think. If the tiler has used the edging I'm thinking of (like mine pictured but in metal rather than white plastic like mine) it won't be possible to remove because the tile sits on top of the lip underneath. Can you get hold of a small length of the edging and try a bit of experimenting with paint etc? It maybe that the edging looks like shiny chrome but is actually just a thin veneer of chrome effect plastic, if this was lightly sanded you might be able to create a better surface for paint to cling to and then choose a really matt charcoal or dark taupe type colour?

Hi Jale, I agree with Sonia. Get a tiler to do your tiling, especially light tiles and dark grout. Every little mistake shows up. Pro tilers will mark out all the tile positions first to prevent tiny slivers. You could replace with white grout to hide the mistakes. Also your builder hasn't mastered siliconing!
